Mr.. Howe recalled OnDcer Sachs and got him to
swear a double bar>elled ironclad oath that Adoiph
Sohenck the man whom he once arrested for paIuci-
patton In Anarchist meeting presided at tho meet
ing Of November L. at Kramer's Hall. and Introduced
Most as tho speaker Of the evening. when he haa
testified to this effect Mr. Howe thanked him WIN such
significant emphasis that Mr. NcOll took alarm, ana
began to question him also to his recoectons con-
serning who presided. Judge Cowing suggested Is q
method Of cutting the examination short that schoncK
bhould stand up in court and be Identified

A sparely- built lean faced man, with high forc-
head and black mustache came forward, and gazed
nonchaanty Mt the officer
"That IS the man." said Sachs.
"That's good,n chnckled Most.
"Wc shall prove that he wasn't there at ALL said
Mr. Howe. in q complacent undertonc.
Then Mr. Howe mado his opening address TO the
fury His style was grandiloquent and his manner
dramatic. He said;

Mr. Howc's eyes wandered the twelve jury

particularly impressed said, "lsn't that soi'
The Juror nodded his acquiescencc, and swelling
with pride. Mr.. Howe continued:

hone courageous we'll just, jury, to pass upon
the question not whether the maudl.n rterance, OF

opinions you or can never be in Accord
Here Mr. Howe got lost in the labyrinhine mazes
Of his oratory, and without completing the sentence
launched OF into dcnunc!ation of the character OF
the testimony introduced for the people until hauled
up short by an Injunction from Judge Cowng that that
sort OF talk would be appropriate in the sum
ming up.
The greater part Of the remainder Of Mr.. Howc's
speech was devoted TO cnarging the point that the
con-stttoo shunal right Of free speech was on trial
He was nearly ont OF breath when he sat down, but
be had enough left TO whisper hOarsely to Most:
"You understood why talked that way about Won -
